The singer and actor Herbert Ernst Groh belonged to the most popular radio singers of the 30's and 40's whose impressive tenor voice was compared with Richard Tauber.
During his singing career his voice was recorded on countless sound carriers and he became well-known to a wide public.

He began study voice in Milan and Munich, and in 1927 followed his theater debut in Darmstadt. In the same years came also his first record into being.
He joined up with the Norddeutscher Rundfunk at the end of the 20's and found there his real profession where he had his biggest successes. Herbert Ernst Groh became a darling of the public in no time.

The opera didn't play an important part in his career, his field of activity was the radion and from 1933 also the talkies.
He made his film debut with "Das Lied vom Glück" (33), it followed among others the productions "Schön ist es, verliebt zu sein" (34), "Casanova heiratet" (39) and "Sechs Tage Heimaturlaub" (41).
